BREAKING NEWS – Trump says he will testify in the Stormy Daniels hush money case: ‘I tell the truth’

When asked if it was ‘risky’ for him to testify in his own defense, Trump dismissed the dangers and promised he would tell the truth.

‘I’m testifying. I tell the truth. All I can do is tell the truth,’ the former president told reporters at Mar-a-Lago on Friday night.

‘And the truth is, that there’s no case.’

‘It’s a scam. It’s a scam. That’s not a trail. That’s not a trial. That’s a scam’, he added.

He said he would testify just as judge declined to delay the trial because of the huge amount of publicity surrounding the case.

Remaining defiant he called the Manhattan trial ‘election interference’ with just four days to go until jury selection begins.

The process to choose the panel of 12 New York residents who will decide his fate is about ‘luck’, he said, and said it was ‘unfair’ it was happening in the city.

His legal team have consistently argued there is no way he can get a free trial because the majority of the city is Democrat.

‘It depends who you get,’ he said of jury selection. ‘It’s very unfair that I am having a trial there. It’s very unfair that we have this judge that hates Trump.

‘It’s very bad for New York and it’s very bad for the judicial system in New York
